Can the LED wifi controller be joined to any wifi network or only to the wifi controller hub? I

You follow the simple instructions, very easy to connect with a wireless laptop to the default address and then modify and join your home wireless network and then control with a WiFi iPad or android app.

Using it with a revolv hub(discontinued). It works, but does not have all features that you see in the insteon hub.

Hi,Good question I don't believe that you can although there are other wifi systems that will please check out the offerings from the Logitech smart radio or the Grace radio line. Hope this helps with your quest.Thanks,

This is not a wireless control. It is wired directly to the fan/light, controlling only the device it is connected to.

You need an existing Z-Wave network and controller to use this device, not WiFi. An example of Z-Wave controllers: MiCasa Verde, 2Gig, Aeon, SmartThings.

No. It is a stand alone AP that can be added to any network LAN. You will need to download the free software from Ubiquiti to commission and setup.

It does have the connectors for it so in theory this should work. I haven't tried it, but I imagine the difficulty you might face would be how long it would take to send enough data to update each of the LEDs. Your controller would need to be able to handle that many.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, I have one controller hooked up to it wirelessly. The 2nd controller will not connect, am I only able to connect one device at a time now? It is currently in xinput mode. Also, I am using this on a Raspberry Pi. Currently running RetroPie for this controller.

you'll need some kind of USB - DMX interface http://www.amazon.com/Interface-Adapter-DMX512-Lighting-Controller/dp/B009B5MX0K for instance. (I use the enttec product) note this controller box (Keedox) simply dims the output voltage of the three + DC pins for output to a LED strip or fixture, you'll also need an input power supply (and of course the leds - I used something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Changing-Ribbon-Ledwholesalers-2034rgb/dp/B00476B908/ and http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Power-Suppply-Driver-Transformer/dp/B0034GUEY4 THEN you will also need an application to communicate to the interface, I use this: http://freestylerdmx.be/ because it's free and it works, there are a lot of programs out there that cost hundreds, many of them have free trials, so I tried them, and none worked as well as freestyler as far as I could tell... and there were some really expensive ones out there. As far as I could tell, the real pros who use DMX seem to rely on expensive DMX control boards (HOG, Whole HOG) and not use computers as much. but freestyler has let me put on some cool lightshows on my stage. (http://www.mosquitoe.net/music) also someone mentions this has ethernet ports - it doesn't, it's just a second set of sockets for wiring with RJ-45 plugs, and you cant use them both, one or the other only... DMX control cables come in both flavors and you can mix them in an environment... I think this box could actually transition from DMX to RJ45 but i never tried it.

I have used this unit in client mode before but only to make a PC wifi capable. The included instruction indicates that it can be used in this mode with smart TV's, media devices and game consoles to make them wifi capable but I have not tried it. You will need to configure the unit to client mode on a PC before you can connect it to the device.

Ray. The short answer is no. Either the INSTEON HUB or the SmartLinc web controller would be required for web access to the bulb. The app requires an actual web controller to link to. You would need either: http://www.smarthome.com/2242-222/INSTEON-Hub/p.aspx or http://www.smarthome.com/2412N/SmartLinc-INSTEON-Central-Controller/p.aspx to gain that web access.

I believe it will do both depending on configuration. I had planned on connecting it using a LAN but it automatically connected to the WIFI from across the parking lot and has been working ever since (almost a year).

Possibly. There are 2 "ports" -one on each side to accept modules, but I am not sure about compatibility with the wifi module. You would be best off getting the answer from 2gig directly about that.

To use this controller via wifi (and ultimately smartphone) you will need the Mi light wifi bridge. There are even some 3rd party plugins to get this controller, along with the bridge, working with the MicasaVerde home automation system for uber coolness.

Theoretically, yes, if you create an interface to a device running on the same Wifi network as the LIFX bulb, and as of April 2014, they don't have an officially supported API (however, there are 3rd party options, on npm). Out of the box, no; you must be running the app on a device on the same Wifi network.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

It does connect either way. We have the TUXWIFIS hard wired with some switches using the WIFI.
